I am a volunteer contributor to OpenStreetMap. While researching why SEO shops are adding data to OSM, and let me add, doing it poorly, I came across Schema.org. It seems that the schema might help us in the future when adding POI's. Some businesses, like the typical fast food restaurants are easy, others it's much harder to apply the appropriate tags to the business. An example might be a gift shop that also sells clothing. We can guess but it may not be what the owner would perfer. Can you help me understand where schema.org is headed and if it might help us properly tag the business? Some of the areas we'd like to capture are: - Hours of Operation - Phone/Fax number - Email - Is it handicap accessible - business type - description - wikidata id I can envision a user adding the website which would allow our editor to query for these answers and then formatting the results to populate OSM. Such a process would improve quality, and likely increase the amount of information for the business. Thanks in advance, Clifford -- @osm_seattle osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
